Sorry... I need to vent.
This all started a couple of weeks ago when I had to miss the Ottawa, ON Katana rally. Man did I ever want to go. But I had a party I had to attend on the Friday. Kat Riders meeting early on the other side of the city, I wasn't going to make it on time. No problem I told myself, I'll go riding alone in the afternoon. That's when the folks decide to show up at my place for supper. No riding that day. Can't even meet the group for dinner. Again, no problem, I would go all day on the Sunday. But then... I woke up to rain.
The following weekend, I had a bachelor party on the Saturday. It was a beautiful day, and saw MANY people riding their bikes. Solo and groups of I would say 20+ riders. I was so jealous. But again, no problem. I'd go out for a good day of riding the following day. I wake up early in the morning to poring rain again. At this point, I should mention my gf is starting to not be able to stand me because I'm restless. You know... that feeling when you haven't gone riding for a little while and you have that need or craving for it? The need to get your addiction satisfied?
Discouraged, I was then looking forward to this weekend. A long weekend. Perfect! The Ontario rally being canceled, I planned on taking off Friday afternoon and head to the parents cottage making a big detour to make my ride 600+ km. Spend a few days there, ride around, and come back on the holiday monday and get another 500-600km day at minimum. This morning (Thursday), I wake up and the forcast now changed. It went from a nice sunny weekend to 70% chance of rain all weekend. The tail of the Ernesto storm is expected to hit us.
So now I might still go to the cottage, but might need to take the car (boring). And with the Canadian winter coming fast, the days are only getting colder making my riding days limited.
Sure... I've riden to work and a few hours after work here and there... but can I PLEASE GET A GOOD RIDING DAY!!!
